What is the difference between artificial intelligence and cognitive science?
Another impression that I get is that cognitive science is more about trying to find out how the human intelligence or mind works. And that it would use artificial intelligence to make tests or experiments, to test ideas and so forth.


I think that's pretty much it.  I mean, clearly there is some overlap, but I feel like most people who use "cognitive science" are referring more to understanding human intelligence for its own sake.  Artificial Intelligence, OTOH, is more about implementing "intelligence" on a computer, where the techniques used may or may not be influenced by research done under the rubric of cognitive science.
